Question

【题目】Charles was always hardworking in school. He had decided that his first object was to get his lessons well, and then he could play with a good conscience. He loved playing as well as anybody, and was one of the best players on the ground. I hardly ever saw anybody catch a ball better than he could. When playing any game, everyone was glad to get Charles on his side.

Charles would sometimes stay in at break. This, however, was very seldom; it was only when the lessons were very hard indeed. Generally, he was among the first on the playground, and he was also among the first to go into school when called. The teacher could not help liking him, for he always had his lessons well committed, and never gave him any trouble.

When he went to college, the teacher gave him a good recommendation. He was so thoroughly prepared for college that he found it very easy to keep up with his class, and had much time for reading interesting books.
